Stayed there while in Leon on my first Camino. Nice, basic place and very close to the Cathedral.
Stayed at Posada Regia in the annex last October. Great rooms, great location and wonderful bath. Think we paid 57 euros. FYI... the parador is not very central and is on the way out of the city.For something a step up from the pensiones listed above (all fine places, but you said you were looking for a small hotel) I'd recommend the Posada Regia. http://www.regialeon.com
It's on the main drag, Regidores, where it has turned into the pedestrian street that goes up to the cathedral.
I've seen that they have opened an annex, where I've never stayed, but the main hotel is in an old stone building with creaky wooden stairs and the staff have always been very helpful and kind to me.
I've also stayed in the Boccalino, right across from the un-missable romanesque pantheon of San Isidoro. Hotel is nothing out of this world, but fine. http://www.hotelboccalino.es/hotel/
Last time I was in Leon, I saw the newly opened NH Plaza Mayor, which looked very nice. I sent some friends there who loved it. The Plaza Mayor in Leon has never been the central gathering place that other plazas mayores are, so they said it wasn't in a hectic part of town but very close to everything. http://www.nh-collection.com/hotel/nh-collection-leon-plaza-mayor.
I had a few days to spend in Leon as I recovered from a foot injury, and really enjoyed a trip to the pretty un-touristy museum of Leon. It has lots of archaeological finds. http://www.museodeleon.com/cgi-bin/zdoc30/portada.pl
Buen camino, Laurie
the 'Colegiata' behind San Isidoro and 5 minutes from the Cathedral is the only plce for meAt the end of April we plan to re-start our Camino , from where we left off last year, namely Bercianos del Real Camino. A few days later we expect to reach Leon where we want to spend 2-3 days exploring. As we'll be staying more than one night we can't stay in a municipal or religious albergue, so we're looking for a small hotel or similar.
Obviously we could just look on the internet, but we would feel happier with a place that others have stayed at and would recommend. Ideally we are looking for somewhere fairly central and near the Camino route, and are prepared to pay reasonable hotel rates, not necessarily rock-bottom prices. We did consider the Parador, and would have stayed there if it had only been for one night.
Any suggestions?

So do lots of people stay in hotels etc. to celebrate?May 1 is celebrated as Labor day throughout most of Europe.
Many, many people travel at that time and often take another extra day or puente/bridge. In countries which fought in WW2 such as France and Germany but not Spain May 8 is another holiday commemorating the end of the war.So do lots of people stay in hotels etc. to celebrate?
